Israel behind rocket fire that killed journalist: Lebanon army
Beirut, Lebanon — AFP
Israel was behind cross-border rocket fire that killed a Reuters journalist and wounded others from AFP, Reuters and Al Jazeera, the Lebanese army has said.
“The Israeli enemy fired a rocket shell that hit a civilian car belonging to a media team, leading to the death of Issam Abdallah,” a Reuters journalist, and wounding several others on Friday, it said in a statement.
Israeli defense Forces are often known to have targeted journalists reporting from the Occupied Territories. Last year, veteran Palestinian journalist from A Jazeera, Shireen Abu Akileh was killed by a bullet fired by an Israeli soldier while she was on duty covering an Israeli raid. However, there was no accountability or punitive action taken by Israel.
